Abstract The kinetics of network chain scission induced by γ-rays has been studied by stress relaxation at constant elongation under vacuum and in air. The rate of chain scission of a 1:1 ethylene propylene copolymer was found to be independent of initial network chain density, and the initial rates were roughly the same in air and under vacuum. Parameters for crosslinking induced by γ-rays were obtained by sol extraction and by measurement of elastic properties of the resulting networks. Values of G for scission and crosslinking and gel dose, obtained by stress relaxation, by elastic properties, and by sol extraction, were found to agree with each other.

Abstract A series of clean, well defined polyurethan networks was synthesized from polyester glycols, 2, 4-tolylene diisocyanate, and 1, 1′, 1″-trimethylolpropane by means that afforded precise control over the content of urethan groups per network chain. The thermal cleavage of these networks was studied using the technique of stress relaxation. Analysis of the stress relaxation data on each network structure revealed two exponential decay processes differing in rate by about an order of magnitude. The rate of the slower process, which dominates the overall stress decay, was shown to be directly dependent on the content of urethan groups per network chain. Positive identification of this process with urethan cleavage was thereby established. The kinetic and thermodynamic constants associated with urethan cleavage were then calculated from data on this process at different temperatures. The more transient stress decay process was not uniquely definable, but probably originated from the cleavage of one or more types of weak linkages found in small but variable proportions in the different polyurethan networks. The nature and origin of these weak linkages was discussed.

Catalytic activity of nickel-molybdenum catalysts for methanation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry. The activity of NiMoOx systems exceeds that of carrier-free nickel if x < 2, and is conditioned by the oxidation degree of molybdenum, changing in dependence on the composition in the region Mo-MoO2. The activity of the catalysts is adversely affected by irradiation by fast neutrons, dose 28.1 Gy, or by γ rays using doses in the region 0.8-52 kGy. The system is most susceptible to irradiation in the region of low concentrations of the minor component (about 1 mol.%). The dependence of changes in catalytic activity of γ-irradiated samples on the dose exhibits a maximum in the range of 2-5 kGy. The changes in catalytic activity are stimulated by the change of reactivity of the starting mixed oxides, leading to different kinetics of their reduction and modification of their adsorption properties. The irradiation of the catalysts results in lowered concentration of the active centres for the methanation reaction.

The Difference

Abstract From the experimental results of the present investigation, it is apparent that two kinds of networks which have a different three-dimensional network structure give quite different behavior of chemical stress relaxation, even if both networks have the same network chain density. The difference in three-dimensional network structure for the two kinds of rubber arises from the degree of entanglement, which changes with the concentration of the polymer chains prior to the crosslinking process. The direct cause of chemical relaxation is due to the scission of network chains by degradation, whereas the total relaxation is caused by the change of geometrical conformation of network chains. This then casts doubt on the basic concept of chemorheology which is represented by Equation 2.

ABSTRACTStresses are introduced in crystals at interphase boundaries where steps improve the registry of atoms. A model and mathematical analysis based on an approach previously taken by van der Merwe and Shiflet1–4 of the problem incorporating a coherent step are presented. Computed distributions of stresses, strains, dilatation and energy density in the form of contours and nets are given for a coherent monatomic step. It is concluded that the maximum stresses are quite large and the fields decay fairly rapidly with distance from the steps, the gradient of dilatation around steps will significantly affect diffusion kinetics of impurities and the strain energy seems too low to significantly enhance chemical processes.

Abstract The experimental result, that the equilibrium force is nearly equal to the pseudoequilibrium force immediately prior to quenching and irradiation, allows the following conclusions: (1) Chain scission during crosslinking is not a serious problem. (2) The network of highly entangled linear chains is effectively at elastic equilibrium immediately prior to crosslinking in the strained state. This would not be the case if the entangled structure remained untrapped. (3) The effect of chain entangling in tightly crosslinked elastomers is large, also at elastic equilibrium. In fact, it is almost quantitatively equal to the pseudo-equilibrium stress relaxation modulus of the uncrosslinked linear polymer. This result is in agreement with the results from the Langley and the two-network methods.

The paper considers the issues of studying the structure formation of binders during hardening to determine the optimal moments of mechanical action on gypsum concrete specimens, which makes it possible to optimize the technology of their impregnation with sulfur melt. The time dependence of the elastic modulus of a hardening, binder is its important physicochemical characteristic, since it is used to objectively identify the stages of structure formation, to simulate the processes occurring at each of the stages. It is noted that the method of acoustic resonance of bending vibrations, in the case of hardening binders, needs correction with respect to the measurement technique and interpretation of the results obtained. The kinetics of the resonance frequency of a sample consisting of a rigid cell and a dispersion poured into it is a function of the elastic properties of the cell, the dispersion itself, the contact zone of the dispersion with cell and therefore cannot be used for either qualitative or quantitative analysis of the kinetics of hardening. Taking into account the elasticity of cuvette is necessary to obtain reliable information. It has been established that in the presence of shrinkage or significant expansion of the binder, the study of structure formation by the resonance method should be carried out in plastic cuvettes. Regardless of shrinkage, the use of a cuvette requires compulsory consideration of its elastic properties. It is advisable to objectively distinguish the stages of structure formation on the basis of the kinetics of not the dynamic modulus of elasticity itself, but the rate of its change. The time dependence of the logarithmic damping decrement is also an important characteristic of the concrete structure. The studies carried out make it possible to obtain serogypsum composites with the necessary performance characteristics and to manufacture elements of architectural décor, wall fencing products of increased aesthetics, durability and reliability from them.

Stress relaxation was studied in a series of low carbon, high Mn microalloyed steels containing 0.012, 0.06 and 0.1 wt% Nb. The stress-relaxation curves were modeled using a physically-based model that takes into account the time evolution of precipitation, recovery and recrystallization as well as their interactions. The results confirm that high Mn-high Nb design can offer distinct advantage over the low-Mn design for the application of near net shape processing.
